Bad news for Maheeda , well that is only when she is in Lagos.
The Lagos State House of Assembly on Monday approved a bill which bans smoking in public.
P.M. News reports that offenders will be punished with a N10,000 fine, three months imprisonment or both.
Although legalization activists and many marijuana users believe smoking pot has no negative effects, scientific research indicates that marijuana use can cause many different health problems.
Marijuana is the most commonly used illicit drug in the United States. When smoked, it begins to effect users almost immediately and can last for one to three hours. When it is eaten in food, such as baked in brownies and cookies, the effects take longer to begin, but usually last longer.
Loss of coordination and distortions in the sense of time, vision and hearing, sleepiness, reddening of the eyes, increased appetite and relaxed muscles. Heart rate can speed up. In fact, in the first hour of smoking marijuana, a user’s risk of a heart attack could increase fivefold. School performance is reduced through impaired memory and lessened ability to solve problems.
The bill prohibits smoking in all public places
including libraries, museum, public toilets, schools, hospital, day care
centers, public transportation and restaurants among others now in Lagos state.
Now any person who smokes in the presence of a child would be slapped with a N15,000 fine, imprisonment or both. So watch out and be ready to Slap and be slapped for free.
